Healthy Swimming

CDC’s Healthy Swimming website provides information for all groups of individuals involved in a healthy and safe swimming experience about how to maximize the health benefits of swimming while minimizing the risk of illness and injury.

However, accidents will happen, especially with young swimmers. Below you will find information about how to handle a fecal incident in your private pool.
